Virtual machine is only a folder on the host and its virtual hard disk is only a file in the folder. Virtual hard disk stores applications and other data on the virtual machine so that virtual disk backup can be regarded as VM backup to some degree. The components of virtual machine are similar to physical machine's, including CPU and hard disk. Since virtual machine is composed of many files, is there a way to migrate VM with the files, for instance, converting VMDK file to OVF? What is the relationship between VMDK and OVF? VMware vSphere can help companies build and manage virtual environment and in daily management, IT administrators might need to backup and migrate VM for load balancing or other uses.
